Reply to "No blocking the plate in HS...right?"

So last year we had a play at the plate. Ball hit and the Pillsbury doughboy rounds third. About half way he realizes the catcher (my kid) has the ball, so he stops, turns, and heads back to third. Takes a few steps and realizes his teammate is on third. Turns, puts his arms up like a pulling guard and proceeds to run over my kid, nocking him on is butt. Crowd goes wild - with dad shouting "he's got to go." My kid stands up, shows the umpire the ball and says "I held on to it."

Now kudos to the umpire. The doughboy wasn't malicious. Umpire quietly went over to the team's head coach and "tossed" the kid. No animation, no big scene. No hard feelings.
